Then you will need to sign-up for the image gallery service. Of course, you can also use other image "servers" out there like Photobucket - http://photobucket.com/ -- or Free Image Host -- http://www.www.freeimagehosting.net/ -- of course, they don't have a direct interface into CC.

Kiwanian - the problem is with M$ not CC. When M$ released Outlook2007 they reverted back to a very old rendering engine for HTML - and basically "broke" HTML emails. You can learn more at the Email Standards Project: http://email-standards.org/

Many email clients will not display images automatically unless the recipient has told the program to allow them to be displayed. There is a very good article on this topic at: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2559/current-conditions-and-best-pr-1/

The problem is the image at the top of the column. You have specified a size, and it is making sure it blocks that whole area.
You may want to consider moving the image to it's own row in your table structure, and set the colspan attribute in the td tag.

AOHell is always so ... special Sometimes I have checked with folks who have bounced "other" and they have received the campaign. Like I said -- I really only concern myself with "non-existant" bounces. Just makes the whole list management process much easier.

Sounds like you may be importing formatted test into CC when you create your campaign. I always suggest you copy & paste formatted text into a text editor (Notepad, etc.) and then, select the content from there and paste it into CC.

CC, and most email clients, do not support "image maps". Plus, one large image will set off many flags and warnings, as this is typically a spammer's technique. One possible "work around" would be to "slice" the large image into smaller pieces (situated around your links) and then re-assemble the image using a with cellspacing & cellpadding set to "0".

If I understand what you are looking for -- Click on the "My Settings" tab Then select "Site Visitor Sign-up" from the menu under the tabs Then choose "Add a Signup Box to Your Website" You may then make some choices which will help you style the different sign-up box options and CC will provide you the code you may paste into your web site so you may collect subscriber information.

Barbara -- As OE is no longer supported by M$, I sincerely doubt that there will be any updates. M$ Mail is their answer to the problems. Similar to the problems with IE6/IE7 -- IE8 is the answer. (In fact, Google is now dropping support for IE6 on their webapps.)

Personally, as a person who works with a non-profit youth focused organization, I would much rather use a service that is dedicated to handling the type of messaging I want to do. We use text messaging extensively, and text-messaging services have what you need, and are generally reasonably priced for non-profits. Plus, I use my text messaging service to remind my youth (who don't ever seem to read email) to check the latest campaign, whose URL I post in the text.
